Chapter 108 News from Suzhou
It has been three days since Jia Jue returned home, and in the past three days, he has almost been busy receiving guests, and a group of old relatives have come to visit him, expressing almost the same meaning, they hope to send officers or children of the family to the Ruishi Camp to learn the method of military training, and even the Qianqing Palace has come to the will, let Jia Jue think about it seriously, and the palace will give appropriate compensation at that time.
Jia Jue roughly estimated that the gifts received in the past three days were about 200,000 taels of silver, in order to be able to train the new army under his command like a sharp battalion, these people also had a lot of blood, even Wang Xifeng received a lot of gifts, for those people's requests, she came directly and did not agree or refuse, and received the benefits first.
What made Jia Jue cry and laugh the most was Daiyu's birthday, these people really did everything in order to enhance the power in their hands, a group of edicts actually came to the door to celebrate the birthday of a junior, and the gifts they gave were also extremely precious.
Fortunately, Daiyu was generous and didn't care, this was her first birthday in Jiafu, and she didn't expect it to be like this.
However, she also became a little rich woman in the mouth of her sisters.
After some consideration, Jia Jue not only agreed to their request, but also wrote an excerpt about military training and presented it to Emperor Tianyou, after all, the Ruishi Battalion also belongs to the Royal Forest Army, and they will help each other in future battles, and enhancing their strength is also protecting themselves.
In the study, Jia Jue put an account book on the book with a very serious expression and opened the account book: "In March of the 40th year of Tianyou, Guangdong City Bosi paid 30,000 taels of silver, all of which were sent to the Zhen family in Jinling. In May of the 40th year of Tianyou, the Fujian Customs Department paid 60,000 taels of silver, and sent it to the Yamen of the Governor of Yingtian, the Yamen of the political envoy of Yingtianbu, and the Yamen of the political envoy of Zhejiang. In June of the 40th year of Tianyou, the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce purchased 50,000 pieces of fine silk and sent them all to the Jinling Weaving Bureau, which was equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver. Note: Not accounted for. ”
Seeing this, Jia Jue closed the account book and gently put it back, this is the account book that Jia Jue got from Song Qian, this is only one of the pages, he once estimated that from the 38th year of Tianyou to July 40, the big families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang paid bribes to the yamen and officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a total of more than 3.7 million taels, and a total of more than 300 officials of all sizes were dragged into the water, if this account book was handed over to the emperor, the entire southern officialdom would collapse.
It's a pity that such a good card can't be used.
Qian Feng sent him a message from Jinling, and the emperor asked him to go south to Zhejiang to find out whether local officials had accepted bribes from wealthy families, especially to keep an eye out for whether there were bribe-taking officials being held hostage.
"Walking on the Stars"
Fortunately, everything was said by Zhang Qianyan, but fortunately, he also withdrew in time, and those few officials were also dealt with the help of the guard.
Suddenly, a report from the soldiers came from outside the door, "Uncle, Commander Jia is here." ”
"Come in."
With a creak, the door opened, and Jaffo walked in with a letter case in his hand.
Jia Yu sat up straight, "Jia Yucun's letter?" ”
"Yes."
Jia Fu placed the letter box on the book jacket, turned and walked out.
After Jia Fu closed the door of the study, Jia Jue tore open the seal, lit a candle to melt the fire paint, opened the letter box, and took out the letter to read it carefully.
The letter gave a detailed description of the current situation in Jinling, especially the situation of the Yamen of Yingtian's Governor, which was very detailed, and it can be seen that Jia Yucun was really attentive.
In addition, Jia Yucun also said something about Suzhou in the letter, focusing on the tenant peasant rebellion on the night of the first lunar month, many people died, and even the capital city was impacted, but fortunately, the army suppressed the rebellion in time, but many villages were looted, and the king of Dongping County has not taken action so far.
Jia Jue's expression was solemn, and he took a closer look at Xinzai, it seems that the situation in Suzhou is not very good!
..........
Suzhou Mansion, Wu County, Panxiang Temple.
"It's time for us to go."
Miaoyu looked at the master who was meditating on the futon with his eyes closed, and asked, "Master, what happened?" ”
Dingyi Shitai said: "Fangcai, the fierce stars in the sky are blazing, indicating that there will be disasters, after some calculations for the teacher, it was found that there will be an inevitable catastrophe in Suzhou, so that the lives will be ruined, and the blood will flow like a river." ”
Miaoyu Gujing Wubo's eyes finally changed, and he was anxious, and asked, "What calamity?" ”
Master Dingyi opened his eyes, glanced at Miaoyu, and said calmly, "Sit down." ”
"Yes."
Miaoyu sat cross-legged on top of another futon.
"The fierce stars in the sky are blazing, and the division deduces that there will be a military disaster in Wu County, and this catastrophe will sweep the entire Suzhou Prefecture. As the saying goes, 'bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates', which should be avoided. ”
"So, where are we going?"
"Shenjing, Muni Yuan, your uncle is there."
......
Miaoyu returned to the meditation room, picked up a scroll of scriptures, sat on the couch, looked out and was distracted, and saw a mother-in-law come in and say, "Miss, Miss Xing is here." ”
"Let her in!"
Shaoqing, a girl in a half-worn light gray cloth skirt walked in with a food box, "Sister, this is a snack that my mother just made, let me send it." ”
Miaoyu smiled and nodded, asked Xing Xiuyan to sit down, poured her a bowl of tea, looked at the generous Xing Xiuyan, and sighed, "I'm leaving!" ”
Hearing this, the smile on Xing Xiuyan's face froze, her family rented in the temple, the two had similar temperaments, Miaoyu would teach her to read and read when she had nothing to do, and the relationship between the two was also a teacher and a friend.
Looking at Xing Xiuyan, who was in a depressed mood, thinking of the past, he couldn't bear it, "The master calculates that there will be a military disaster in Suzhou, and we have to go to Shenjing, if you can, you can also go out to avoid it, by the way, I heard that your aunt married into the Jia family in Shenjing, why don't we go together!" ”
“.....”
Xing Xiuyan sighed, her aunt married into the Jia family in Shenjing, but I heard her father say that her aunt did not live well in the Jia family, and she had no children under her knees, so she had no status after all.
Miaoyu: "Xiuyan...."
"Hmm."
Xing Xiuyan responded casually, squeezing out a forced smile on her face, "Thank you sister for bothering, it is difficult to leave the countryside in the end, as for the days to come, one day is counted as one day, and I can't force it." ”
After saying this, Xing Xiuyan herself was stunned, Miaoyu also reacted at this time, and she didn't feel good in her heart, when she arrived in Shenjing, their master and apprentice were also under the fence, and they would definitely not be able to help them, so they were silent for a while.
There was silence in the meditation room.
At this time, the maid who was waiting for Miaoyu walked in, "Girl, everything is packed, it's time to go." ”
Miaoyu was stunned at first, and looked at Xing Xiuyan, "I'm leaving, you have to take care of yourself, I don't know if there is a chance to see you again in this life....."
"Sister, don't worry, I'll see you again eventually!"
Miaoyu was about to speak, and immediately felt footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly looked towards the door.
Sure enough, a woman's voice soon came from outside the door, "Master Miaoyu, Xiuyan is here with you?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman who looked to be in her forties walk in, and when she saw Xing Xiu's face, she was overjoyed, and said to Miaoyu: "I heard that Master Dingyi is going to Beijing?" ”
"Yes, we'll leave in a moment."
"Great!"
Xing's mother was overjoyed, "It's just that we can be a companion all the way!" ”
Xing Xiuyan: "Mom....."
"Hey, look at my mouth.... Hehe, your aunt sent someone to pick us up in Beijing, and as soon as the person arrived, the housekeeper of the Jia family said, let us bring two changes of clothes, and leave immediately, and the boat is waiting at the dock. ”
Speaking of this, Xing's mother said in a low voice: "I heard that the steward said that Suzhou Mansion is not safe, so I have to leave immediately, I didn't see it and brought a team of officers and soldiers, but it was magnificent, by the way, I heard that it was your cousin's personal soldiers." ”
This is appalling news, Xing Xiuyan was shocked, and Miaoyu's eyes also flashed.
Xing's mother: "Don't be stunned, let's go!" ”
Master Dingyi appeared at the door, "Let's go down the mountain together." ”
Three: "Yes." ”
